New Year’s Eve Writing Prompt

It's the last day of 2009, the last day of the year, and the last day of the DECADE! But this year we have a problem — what to call this decade?

The years 1980-1989 are called the Eighties. The years 1990-1999 are called the Nineties. So we can say, "I like Eighties music." or "I was born in the Nineties." But what about this decade that's almost over? How are you going to say that you like the music from this decade? or whatever from this decade!

What should we call the years 2000-2009? Give me your ideas in the Comments.

i would say the 100′s because 1990-1999 was the 90′s so since there was 50′s then 60′s 70′s 80′s then of corse the 90′s wel after 90′s would be 100′s! but thats a really hard question i just think 100′s is the only reasonable answer!

Maybe we should call it the new year of Twilight, because that is the most seen movie this year. But actully that is a very good question. I have no idea , so you may not wanna take that advice moderater

You seem to be happy! Happy 2010!!!! Are you peeps happy? I am 2009 was a rough year. First my grandpa dided. I have had a lot of stuff happen, but i still shead a tear every once and a while. But you no somethings just happen naturly. Did you have a good year or a bad year? just let me know i am peachtree1. Please let me know

We should call them the ”Newades”! Ades as in decades and new because so so so so many new things are coming out.Or we could call them ”The Years of all Music” because all music, not just 1 kind is popular!

Probably the 2000′s. Because I’ve heard the decade 1900-1909 been called the 1900′s. (Wow, great grammar…) Anyway, since it’s New Year’s Eve, Happy New Year! (Even though it’s still the old year right now!)

Maybe we should call this decade the twoies, or two-thousandies, two-thousand-zeros/zeros. What did they call 1900-1909? We should call this decade that, only refit for the first decade of the 2000s.
It’s so interesting that we’re thinking about this and naming this decade for ourselves, versus historians or future decades, like the one starting tomorrow, naming it. Although techincally it probably would be our future selves naming 2000-2009. It’s techinally the birthday of everyone in the world–one decade older! If you were born in the 1980s, this is your fourth, 1970s, fifth, 1960s, sixth–six decades versus forty-something! (1980s, 1990s, this one, 2010-2019.) I have a question: if you call the 1920s the twenties, what do you call the 2020s, for example? The twenties again? The two-twenties or two-thousand-twenties? And do they call the 1820s the twenties too? It’s so confusing I think it should just be nineteen-twenties, nineteen-thirties, eighteen-fifties, exedra.

omg we so have 2 call this year the two thousands anyway were their 1000′s and if so wat were they called but the truth is 2000-2009 should seriously be called diffrent than twenties eightys ninteys and all tthat and if i had 2 name this month it would so be named snow thousands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;)

Huh, I never thought of that. I always assumed it was called the 2000′s, but, you know, I never fact-check stuff I don’t think about.
Why not call this decade, like, the Millenium Birth? Wasn’t 2000 the start of a new millenium or something?

the hundred’s is a bad idea,the 60′s were about the blue’s, 70′s were rock’n'roll, 80′s were disco, 90′s were hip hop, and from the begginning of music to the end of the 50′s was country. the only thing we havent included is beep bop.so what do we call it?? the beep bop age?
